No they don't get worse, floaters are transparent so you see through them anyway, and if you keep your eyes still they sink to the bottom and you get a clear view.

The 1st is nothing to worry about.
The 2nd is only an issue if the amount of floaters increase over a short space of time. If you've had them years it's just the astigmatism.
IANACO - but I suffer from astigmatism and have a friend who's retina detached.
